I had a couple of teal Rhinos and I loved 'em-they were a great ball for the time. Their shortcomings became apparent though when better balls started coming out. I traded mine in for a Columbia Complete Chaos in 1994 which I've been using ever since. Still love those old teal Rhinos though. I still see some on the racks at different bowling centers.
@billw242 I have seen several rhino pros on the house ball racks of older bowling alleys that use old balls for house balls, with a large variety. People just leave them there.
Thanks for the tip, Billw242. I now decided that I'm gonna purchase one or two of Brunswick's newer model bowling balls instead, but thanks for the info. anyways : )
irishpogi, can you please tell me where I can still purchase, order, or get a Brunswick Rhino Pro Ball, preferrably in black, like the ones in this commercial?
When resin first came out, they were being referred to as "reactive urethane" for some reason...which they are, I guess.
BTW: I had the Purple Rhino Pro, and the sucker was a hunk of crap. Never got a consistent reaction out of it from one shot to the next, so after ten years of using only Brunswick, I went to a different brand.
I assume the Rhino Pro was a Reactive Resin ball, but on the commercial the guy doing the voice over says 100% urethane. Would someone please clear up the confusion? Thanks.
The Rhino Pro was Brunswick's first reactive resin ball. The purple one was released to the market in 1992. The black one was released shortly afterward. A few months later during the ball of '93 Brunswick released the teal rhino pro.
lmao the subliminal advertisement makes me wanna get this ball!!!!!

By the way, where is the "subliminal" in this advertisement?

"subliminal" is when an image is flashed (or a short clip, in this case...) quickly advertising the product in an unique, but effective way.

@irishpogi IIRC, there was 1 or 2 urethane only versions of the rhino pro as well.
